We just lay there for a while. Arm-in-arm. I felt carefree and happy again after a long time. Everything in me was relaxed. The torments and pains of the last few days were gone. Slowly my body, which recently felt like a shell without life, was filled with life and strength again.

But as relaxed as I was, the same thoughts ran through my head the whole time. What's next? I have to and want to give him a chance, but how? I can't go on without him. Someday I will tell him everything, but I need time. Not more.

"Kim?" Derek broke the silence.

"Yes?" I asked him and looked at him. Right in his eyes. His eyes were so beautifully perfect brown. Everything about him is just perfect. His eyes are a book to me. I just recognize every emotion in them.

"I love you." he says slightly hypnotized and looks even deeper into his eyes. He loves me? he love me He. loves. Me. Oh my God. Inside I'm so happy. My wolf wants to be tagged by him. But. do i love him too i love its closer. I feel comfortable with him. Without him I feel empty, weak and lonely. I want to be with him every second. Always. But is that love?

"You don't have to say anything just because I say so. I just wanted you to know." he said affectionately, but also hurt. Hurt because I didn't reply. Although I said yes, but couldn't say it. I gave him a long kiss on the cheek in thanks. He closed his eyes and growled slightly. But it wasn't threatening, more like a purr.

"Derek? II...I..." I took a deep breath in and out. I just had to tell him. "want to give us a chance but please I need time. Let's take it slow please." he beamed at me. His brown eyes sparkled like stars. He grinned like a honey cake horse. I smiled shyly at him, blushed and looked down. He hugged me lovingly and kissed my forehead.

"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You have all the time in the world, when you're ready you can tell me anything. Okay, babe?" he was still looking at me cheerfully. I nodded. babe That name. He jumped my heart. My whole body tingled. I smiled shyly at him but looked down at the floor again in embarrassment. He laughed softly. Two fingers pressed my head gently upwards. I looked into his eyes and he into one. His eyes showed desire. I broke the eye contact and rested my forehead against his and closed my eyes.

"You're so beautiful." he breathed softly. The red lap in my face. Thank god he had his eyes closed too and couldn't see that. He placed his one hand on my cheek and stroked it with his thumb. I opened my mouth a little to be able to breathe better, because I just allowed the air. I soon felt my mind go blank. I put my hands on his chest. I lifted my head from his forehead and gently pushed him toward the bed so he lay back down. I then rested my head on his chest next to my hands. With a thumb I stroked him almost imperceptibly over his chest. I could feel his muscles, rock hard yet soft. He started purring again and pulled me closer to him. He pulled me a little higher so that my head was at the crook of your neck. He distributed small kisses on my crown. I put my head closer to him. His heart was beating faster than usual, but still steadily. But I bet mine was beating too fast too. His presence always had such a strange effect on me. is that love

Derek Pov

Finally. I finally got her back. And then she was also snuggled up to me in a bed with me. But the best part was that she accepted me. She gave us a chance. She wanted to try and I will not disappoint her. I will give her as much time as she needs. Not only is she hiding from me what happened while she was gone, but something else as well. But if it's that far, she'll open up to me. I was sure of that. Because the way she snuggled up to me, she wanted me too, just like I wanted her. But does she feel as strong as I do? Or does she feel less? Does she feel more?

I had to smile at all the thoughts. she was mine Okay, maybe not quite yet, but soon. Soon she will be all mine and then. Then no one will ever take her away from me. Because nobody will dare to do that.

I closed my eyes rejoicing. She gently caresses my chest and her warm breath regularly bounced off the crook of my neck. Her heart was beating faster than usual. Was I the reason? I had to smile at the thought. I distributed a few kisses on her crown. Her heart was beating even faster and I could swear mine was beating just as fast as hers.

I closed my eyes I was so exhausted from the last few days of uncertainty, but now. Now I could finally sleep in peace again, I'm holding my girl in my arms and she's fine and she accepted me.

I fell asleep peacefully...

Unknows Pov

"Boss? We found them." came a voice behind me. I turned around abruptly.

"Good. Where is she?" I asked grinning. But I didn't like his answer at all. I finally found her. Now all I have to do is get her without Derek killing me. But how? He probably won't take his eyes off her, and everyone knows what he does to people who harm a family.

I banged on the wall in anger. Once. Twice. 3 times. Over and over again. My hand hurt. Angry, I let go of the wan, which now had holes, and cried out in anger. I support myself against the wall. Why is she making everything so difficult for me? She wants me too, I know it, but why doesn't she show me that? I love her and she loves me. I still remember exactly how I saw her for the first time.

Flashback

After a long time, I was finally running again. I've been walking through the woods for so long. By now he was in different territory, but that didn't interest me. I just needed time to think. Everything was so complicated.

I came to a clearing. It was wonderful. Flowers everywhere and akks was busy. It was heavenly, but one smell was dominant. He was lovely. In the middle was a small pond, in which a girl was ashamed. It was her smell. She was so beautiful. I had never seen anything more beautiful. Her wet blond hair fell in her face. You could see her blue eyes shining from here. Wow. She was awesome.

She swam for a while, but then she came out of the water. She had nothing on. Her figure was awesome. Her perfect curves and slim figure. Her long wet hair fell over her shoulders. Her perfect breasts and butt were beyond perfect. I wanted to go to her but couldn't. Something told me that she wanted to be left alone.

She lay down so that I could only see her slightly. Eventually I got tired and lay down. I closed my eyes slightly, but then fell into a deep sleep.

Flashback Ende

When I woke up again she was gone and I swore to myself that I would find her and make it mine. And I will do that, no matter what the cost. She's mine and once I've tagged her she'll return my love. She's probably just scared of Derek and that's why she's with him. He's probably forcing her to be with him. I know she loves me but she's afraid to say it. You and I belong together. That's how I want it and that's how it will be....
